Police braced for trouble as anti-immigration and counter protests set to take place in Bournemouth today with rioting feared

Police are braced for potential clashes between anti-immigration demonstrators and counter-protesters in Bournemouth today.

Dorset Police says it expects two protests to take place in the seaside town on Sunday and has warned it will 'do all we can to prevent serious violence'.

The force has been granted additional powers,allowing it to stop and search people without reasonable grounds and have pledged they 'will not tolerate any hate,violence or disorder'.

The demonstrations are set to be begin at around 11am,with one dubbed a 'Stop the Far Right' rally while organisers of the other claim it will be a 'peaceful protest' against illegal immigration and knife crime.

In recent weeks cities across England have been hit with disgraceful scenes of violence from far-right thugs after violence broke out in the aftermath of the fatal stabbings of three young girls in Southport.

Haywood also took a loud hailer and tried to continue to try too lead the mob but was 'too intoxicated' to work out how to use it.

He refused to get into the police van when arrested and kicked out at two officers,who were not seriously hurt.

The judge added: 'Assaults on police officers in any circumstances are unacceptable,in these circumstances they were particularly serious.'

David Wilkinson,48,was also sentenced on Friday. A judge jailed him for six years for a number of offences including racially aggravated criminal damage and violent disorder in Hull on August 3.

Judge John Thackray said Wilkinson had played a leading role in what he described as '12 hours of racist,hate-fuelled mob violence',kicking out and throwing missiles at officers,spitting at them and trying to start a fire.

Another man John Honey,25,was jailed for 56 months for violent disorder and burglary. Honey was repeatedly seen on film footage of the Hull riot because he had worn a distinctive shirt with the England flag.

He was shown in the footage looting shops and being part of a group which,along with Wilkinson,attacked a car carrying three Romanian men and had tried to drag them from the vehicle.

'You ... were intending to create a high risk of injury to persons because you were doing your best to assist others in exposing the occupants to the wrath of the baying mob,' Thackray told them.

The sentences are the longest imposed after days of rioting involving violence,arson and looting as well as racist attacks the previous longest being three years and four months.
